Tel Aviv Comes Under Fire For Fourth Consecutive Day

Foreign Policy reports:

Tel Avivians have long been derided for being insulated from the security threats experienced by Israelis living in other parts of the country. Those in the south have for years faced rocket fire from Gaza militants, while residents in the north have in the past been bombarded by rocket fire from Lebanon’s Islamist group Hizbollah. However, Tel Aviv’s peace was shattered when it became a target of rocket strikes from Gaza on Thursday. The city’s air raid sirens blared for the first time since the city was hit by Iraqi Scud missiles during the 1991 Gulf war. The municipality also opened blast shelters to the public for the first time in two decades.
